    But this is not what that quote is saying… Do you think the person who the quote is from (who survived the holocaust - who btw died in 2016) would be okay wirh another genocide? The quote is about having the means to protect yourself, not to do whats been done to you…

    To put the quotes into perspective: They are from Imre Kertész, a writer who lived through ww II. Some of his most famous works are detailing his experiences from the holocaust. Of course he’d say he is happier seeing the star of david on a tank than on his concentration camp uniform. That doesn’t mean he’d agree with what Israel is doing currently.

    I don’t feel it fair to say things like “genocide or be genocided is a really bad mindset” after reading this quote, as this is clearly not about that. Its about having the means to protect yourself. I’m fairly certain there isnt any “lets genocide everyone else” behind it…

    “Are those the only 2 options? Pretty bleak worldview…” Well what do you think, why wuld someone who survived a genocide think that having the means to protect themselves would be better than being genocided?

    I might not understand 😅 Or I may have miscounted something. But in the middle there are 5 sockets in a row, there are 10 rows, on each side there are 8 sockets. That does seem to add up to 66 to me. What am I missing?
